Captured... Poem by Nestor David Armas

I've captured this day;

It's in my head ready to play,

At any given moment;

Relieving my life's torment,

It's started and about to end;

And one thing I've come to comprehend,

I've made today a memory;

My greatest reverie,

And I shall come back;

Time and time permitting,

To this dawn; to this dusk;

And I'll savor what it is,

But a safe place to lie;

From the haste of everyday,

The challenges of living;

Because life is unforgiving,

If we don't stop to play;

Once in a while; lose the tie,

And remember what it is we miss;

That which is within the husk,

Of our monotonous routine whittling;

Away at our knack to kick back,

And recharge to keep surviving;

As each new day keeps arriving...
